Planting Avocado Trees – Important Things You Must Know


Avocado trees are unique and require special attention. You cannot plant them like any other fruit tree and expect success. In fact, planting an avocado like a regular fruit tree may kill it! This video covers those special differences so you can properly plant your avocado tree.

I live in southeastern North Carolina Zone 8A where avocado trees cannot survive outdoors in the winter. I have created a special micro-climate to give it a fighting chance, and selected a semi-dwarf, cold hardy Lila Avocado variety that can be pruned to a small size to help protect it. This may be a good choice for you if you’re in a frost-prone area.
